Last Man Standing.
I watched Yojimbo for the first time in a while a week or two ago, and it really put me in the mood to see this again as well. One of the most underappreciated action flicks of the 90s, for my money. Honestly, between the two western adaptations that have been made of Yojimbo (this and A Fistful of Dollars), I'd say I actually prefer this one, which is probably a rare opinion. Just a really solid piece of action filmmaking. Love it to pieces.

Fantastic Four (2015).

Actually very surprised at this one. I was expecting alot of shit, but instead got a pretty good movie. There were alot of missteps here and there, but I found enjoyment in the end.

Honestly, this is Amazing Spiderman all over again. People are only hating it cause they want the rights reverted back to Marvel Studios. And that's fine, it's their property. Rightfully so they should get them back. But I honestly think it's completely unfair to disown the movie just because of that. This is much better than the last two shit stains FOX released

In all likelihood, Marvel will get the rights back and reboot it yet again. Probably demote the team to bit parts in other character's movies before trying another solo effort again like they're doing with Spidey.

It has a 9% on rotten tomatoes. I kinda doubt that the only reason people are shitting on it is because they want marvel to have the rights back. The newer xmen movies are really good, and you don't see everyone shitting on those.

As for me, I just finished It Follows. Great movie. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be while I was watching it, but the more I think about it and read about it, the creepier it gets and the more I just wanna rewatch it already the same day. Fantastic soundtrack too.

Watched the newer Conan the Barbarian yesterday. 2010, I think?
Not a great movie, necessarily, but it's entertaining enough. I think the main reason people shit on it before though, was because it isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role. Which, to me, is a weak fucking reason to talk it down; the old Arnold movies weren't any better than this at all. And as much as people may argue against it, Jason Mamoa is a faaaaar better fit for Conan.
See, I was a fan of the old Conan comics before I ever saw any of the movies. I had a certain impression of what Conan should be like in live-action, and Schwarzenegger's goofy wide-eyed expressions and dopey, garbled accent are not a part of that.
Mamoa, on the other hand, might not be as ridiculously big as Arnold was (though he's still a huge guy), but the look of his face, the sound of his voice, the speed he can pull off in action sequences: all way, way better than anything Arnold ever did in the role, or even could have done. Mamoa's the shit.
I'm just disappointed we'll never see him in the role again. The guy was perfect for it. Now we have to settle for a geriatric Schwarzenegger stepping into the role again (yeah, they're actually making a new one with him). Ugh.

^ Oh well.. we're still getting a pretty Conan-like Aquaman at least!

'Predestination':
Pretty great. If you're into time travel movies, you'll love it. Not in the least as packed with logical flaws as most other movies of this kind.

'What we do in the Shadows':
Funniest movie I've seen in years, absolute recommendation.

Image

'Sinister':
Cliché-ridden and ultra-cheap piece of generic "horror"-garbage that'll bore you to tears.

'Ant-Man':
Pretty good, almost 'Iron Man' level. The weakest of the strongest Marvel movies I'd say.

'Whiplash':
Brilliant. Please watch it.

Image

'American Sniper':
A little too american.

'Chappie':
A little too lame.

And as some of you mentioned 'Jurassic World': I didn't like it. Totally mediocre at best. The final fight was nice, but couldn't save it for me, since everything I had to endure before it was so weak.

Shenmue as a movie. Except that the case of revenge involves, well, elephants..

I don't remember seeing this. It's actually really funny, and James Garner and Jack Lemmon are perfect in their roles, and are very believable in their hatred for one another.

Dan Aykroyd isn't in it as much as I'd have thought, but excellent movie nonetheless.

Just watched Gravity for the first time tonight. Wow what a ride. Sandra Bullock's performance was riveting and intense as was Clooney's bravado charming, selfless
and unplausible death scene
. Still enjoyed the move despite the obvious flaws.

As much as I love space exploration, our low tech, high risk options don't make it very appealing right now.

We have such a long way to go before we get to Star Wars and Star Trek level of technology.

Haven't seen this in years. Found it in a box of old movies and thought I'd give it a watch.

Your reviews are absolutely spot on. I think i'm gonna be taking your opinions and suggestions on film more seriously from here on.

a mirror, for us all, and when the final phase comes to pass and you cry out 'where has the good guys gone? why are we so fuckin DUMB?' all you need to do, is peer through the looking-glass.

grow some balls, like this guy, and point out the status-quo, face your masters...if you've got the guts, and not some typical MINDLESS cog.

As a marvel fan since my childhood i kinda agree. right now i'm watching X-men days of future past. I love X-men movies but everything else Fox puts out sometimes isnt sometimes what we had hoped but at least Hitman agent 47 was amazing as usual.

Crows explode or unofficially known as crows zero 3.

I think this one was made by a different director which is probably why the fight scenes aren't as good as the first 2 and it feels kinda different although I do get a bigger manga vibe from it than the previous ones.

I can't believe despite having Ken and Makise in it they made no mention of Kenji nor if he won against Rindaman too so I was a bit disappointed in that regard.

Overall it's quite inferior to the first two in my opinion but still fun to watch, probably more appealing to fans than for newcomers though.

Also bring back the manga you dicks!
